A Complete Continuum of Care for Medical-Surgical Services and Physical
Rehabilitation

A Place to Discover What is Possible.

Casa Colina is a non-profit, freestanding, community-governed organization.
With incredible support from our community, we have been privileged to
bring the benefits of rehabilitation to tens of thousands of people since
our first patient in 1938. In the decades that followed, we continued
to expand our care to include a state-of-the-art hospital that offers
acute rehabilitation and medical-surgical care, as well as a broad range
of outpatient services that includes specialized physician clinics, physical
therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, neuropsychology, diagnostic
imaging, children's services and even an outdoor recreation program
for people with disabilities. In the pages that follow, you'll discover
more about our
leadership, our
nearly 80-year legacy and the numerous ways we help people achieve optimum health, gain independence
and return to the highest level of function possible.

A Center of Rehabilitation Excellence in Southern California

Above all else, we want to provide every individual the maximum opportunity
for rehabilitation after an unexpected injury or illness, or debilitating
disease. This is at the very core of everything we do here. Casa Colina
is a unique Center of Excellence that provides a culture of collaboration
where medical leaders and experienced physical rehabilitation experts
work together to help individuals steadily progress from one level of
achievement to the next. It's a complete continuum of care designed
for patients at any stage of rehabilitation - from acute rehabilitation
hospital care to post-acute residential and outpatient services that are
conveniently accessible throughout a state-of-the-art 20-acre Pomona campus
and satellite locations.

Advocacy, Aid and Awareness

Where do patients turn for help when they need financial support to continue
their care at Casa Colina? Where does a parent turn for additional support
for his or her child’s disability? The Casa Colina Foundation acts
as a safety net for people who may greatly benefit from Casa Colina’s
programs and services, but lack the ability to pay for them.

Medical Research at Casa Colina

Exploring New Ways to Enhance Care

The discoveries we make at Casa Colina are destined to not only help our
patients, but others throughout the world. Each year, the Casa Colina
Research Institute conducts clinical research studies to improve the clinical
care of people with disabilities, and discover new findings about disabilities.

enjoyed for many years.

The camp also includes a one-day “Kid’s Kamp” for children

The Outdoor Adventures staff is comprised of Certified Therapeutic Recreational
Specialists with Wilderness First Responder Certification along with trained
volunteers ensuring the highest level of safety for all participants.

One of the most unique aspects of the camp is the diversity of people who
attend. Last year, the camp had participants 7-57 years of age with a
wide range of abilities. Beginners as well as those with experience are
made to feel welcome and capable as they try challenging sports and recreational
activities while taking advantage of the educational Resource Fair.

Since 1985, Casa Colina Outdoor Adventures program has focused on abilities
and not disabilities to enable its members to experience success both
physically and emotionally. This program utilizes nature to create unique
opportunities where people with disabilities can enjoy a sense of community,
gain self-confidence and share new experiences with people of all abilities.

“Land Meets Sea for me was personally life changing. I felt empowered
and able and for a few days “normal” again. Outdoor Adventures
allowed me the ability not only to forget about my limitations but to
rise above them,” said Jennifer Gardner, a camp participant.

The fee for the four-day camp is $415 which includes participation in all
events, lunches, goodie bag, and a t-shirt. The fee for Kid’s Kamp

About Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation began in 1936 in Chino under the
leadership of its founder Frances Eleanor “Mother” Smith and
neighboring physicians to provide rehabilitative care to children afflicted
with polio. In the late 1950s when polio was at epidemic proportions,
a plan was developed to build a new hospital in Pomona where children
could be care for by experienced medical professionals. In 1960, the new
hospital was completed and after the introduction of the polio vaccine,
Casa Colina refocused its medical and physical rehabilitation services
to concentrate on treating people of all ages and disabilities. In recent
years, it has rebuilt and renovated its entire 20-acre Pomona campus to
include a state of the art rehabilitation hospital, outpatient center,
transitional living center, children’s center, adult day health
care, imaging, surgery center and other specialized services. For more
